Abstract
Fordist model of organisation of production was the backbone of a compromise-based society: work in exchange for protection. After the second half of the seventies, Fordism enters a crisis, for the emergence, in economically more developed countries, of a demand for diversified and personalized products and services, causing fragmentation and job insecurity. This leads to the deconstruction of traditional social protection systems that reduce Italian Trade Unions’ ability to represent workers. The current challenge is to build a “flexicurity” system as in the countries of Northern Europe.File in questo prodotto:
